Rangoli-144


Nela Muggulu

Some more of Nela Muggulu. These are all drawn using lines, no dots at all.

This is known as Daarula Muggu or Pathways. This is drawn on the eve of Sankranti festival and also on festival day. Path ways means showing the path to Lord to enter into our homes. Some paths are kept open and some closed.

This is only a single block and only one variety I have drawn here. This Rangoli is actually drawn bigger according the size of the front yard. It will have many blocks of such path ways which are complicatedly meshed together. They are very intricate, difficult to draw but very beautiful to look at. These Rangolis require lot of intelligence, patience and skill to draw. But very beautiful to look at.

I will try to post other varieties and more bigger ones.

My request to all those who happen to see this post is, kindly mail me photos or drawings of such type of Rangolis and any details known about them please. I am trying to save these for the next generations.
